Regulations and Standards

Iowa has a limited number of state-specific standards. A list of these standards is provided below, and they can be viewed on the IOSHA website.

Iowa OSHA follows federal OSHA's Compliance Letters (CPLs), Memos, Instructions and Directives as guidelines to provide assistance to compliance officers, employers and employees on the enforcement of OSHA standards. Most federal CPLs are adopted by Iowa OSHA. A listing of CPLs that have been developed and adopted by Iowa OSHA as "equally effective as" federal OSHA can be found on the IOSHA website.

Jurisdiction

The Iowa State Plan applies to all public and private sector places of employment in Cedar Rapids and the rest of the the state, with the exception of private sector maritime activities; marine terminals; longshoring; federal government-owned, contractor-operated military/munitions facilities; bridge construction projects spanning the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers between Iowa and other states; federal government employers and employees; and the United States Postal Service; which are subject to Federal OSHA jurisdiction.
